FAQs
What materials can these anchors be used in?
These anchors are designed for use in concrete and solid masonry.
What size drill bit do I need?
You will typically need a 10mm drill bit for the M10 anchor, but always check the product specifications for the correct size.
Are these anchors reusable?
These are designed for permanent installation and are not typically reusable. Removing them can compromise the structural integrity.
Can these be used outdoors?
Yes, the zinc plating provides a degree of corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor applications.
What is included in the package?
Each pack includes two anchors, along with nuts and washers.
How do I ensure the anchor is properly installed?
Make sure the hole is the correct size and depth, clean of debris, and that the anchor is fully expanded when tightening.
Troubleshooting
Anchor spins in the hole during tightening.
The hole may be too large. Try using a slightly larger anchor or filling the hole with an appropriate concrete repair compound before re-drilling.
Anchor doesn't seem secure after tightening.
Ensure the anchor has expanded correctly. Check the hole depth and that the anchor is fully seated. Re-tighten the nut and washer, but do not over-tighten.
